Well about the only tin foil hat conspiracy that worries me for real, is when GGG throws a party where Chris and everyone go on a drinking binge. Seems just about anything can happen then.
This is totally true. Today I was farming for around 2hours, didn't find anything good. Was about to call it quits, then suddenly I find an exalted orb in a chest. I'm like, aww thats nice lets grind some more. Fast forward 2 more hours and once again I'm about to call it a night. But guess what, Piety drops me a BoR. It's now 4am and I'm thinking to myself, just another 2hr grind and I'll call it quits.

My theory is GGG has an employee who monitors me 24/7, whenever I'm about to give up, he makes the game drop me a nice item as an incentive. Thanks anonymous GGG man!

Yeah one time I bought the mohawk microtransaction and just then noticed 17 exalt orbs drop.

Oh man, I was super excited, ran into some desync, cussed out my monitor and noticed that all loot stopped dropping.

All loot.

Not even whites.

I went back to my stash noticed 15 of those exalts were gone.

I have never bitched about desync since.

Oh thank god I thought I was the only one.
He also likes to hack my calendar to find important dates I need be alert for and makes me stay up the night farming all hours.

I've noticed this too, and you're right, that's the only logical explanation. That or shape shifting illuminati lizardmen.
The only time drop rates are modified (without rhoa feathers, that is) is if you're a botter or are too high level for the area (the currency penalty that is well understood within the community).

Does that mean if my drops have sucked really bad for weeks that I'm flagged as a botter or just having some piss poor luck? ;)
